With the winds and the smoke in the air, it's really going to feel like an end of the world party tonight.

It's pretty smoky smelling here and the sunlight has that weird quality that I always find really creepy. At least we're located in an area that is pretty safe fire-wise. However, maybe I won't be lighting the Tiki Torches tonight.

With all the Skype activity, I might hold off attending until about 9pm PTO or whatever it's called. This will ensure best use of bandwidth to maximise transmission. Nothing worse than a conversation that sounds like:

"A.. ..oha ....em... .C...ket ......ame ....ing.... ....but I'd love to ...... you .....time."

Does anyone have MouseyGirl's phone number? She's heading down for the party but the 5 is closed. I fear she only has my old 714 number.

She called me a while ago and I gave her your number. She said she wasn't sure about making down because of the fires. I will PM you her number.

Also, I am not sure about us due to the fire near us. While I am sure we will be okay, I may want to stay close to home for a while. We'll play it by ear.

I tried. :( my cheese is sad :(

Be there soon... just downloading Skype onto the new laptop..... :rolleyes:
